Scientists Unveil Mysterious Origins of Earth’s Largest Igneous Rocks
A geochemistry study led by Rice advances our understanding of ancient rock formations. A team of researchers has advanced our understanding of massif-type anorthosites, mysterious rocks that formed exclusively during Earth's middle history. These igneous formations, rich in plagioclase and spannin
